BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.


 Occasionally there is a very encouraging outbreak of justice in this country. Of this character is the indictment by Federal grand jury in San Francisco of some of the stealers of the public lands.
 How this stealing has been done on the Pacific coast is clearly told in government report. The bulk of deposit surveys has been made in timber districts and grazing regions, and the surveyed lands have been immediately entered under the Timber Land, Pre-emption, Commuted Homestead, Timber Culture and Desert Land acts. So thorough ly organized has been the entire system of procuring the survey and making illegal entry of lands that agents and attorneys en- gagged in this business have been advised of every official proceeding and enabled to pre- sent entry applications for the lands at the very moment of the filing of the plats of sur vey in the local land offices. Prospectors employed by lumber firms and corporations seek out and report the most valuable timber tracts in California, Oregon, Washington Territory elsewhere; settlers applications are manufactured as basis for survey; con- tracts are entered into and pushed through the general land office in hot haste; skele- ton survey is made and full field notes im- provised for plating; the final acts of ap- proval and acceptance are officially expedited; entry papers, made perfect in form by com potent attorneys, are filed in bulk, and the manipulators enter into possession of the land and exploit it's timber, which is shipped to foreign ports or sold to our own citizens at the market price of timber cut from pri- vate lands, or, the case may be, the lands are retaiued for the advance in price which is to come from forest monopoly.
 In single case reported by special agents in California it was discovered that an En- glish firm had obtained 100000 acres of the choicest redwood lands of the State, worth perhaps $100 per acre. In the same way ex- tensive coal deposits are acquired in mass through expedited surveys, followed by fraudulent pre-emption. A still broader field of illegal appropriation is opened through the premature survey of vast bodies of land monopolized by cattle ranges.
 The attempt to punish the men who have been guilty of these frauds has been long de- layed, but it is cheering to see it even at this late day. May it be thoroughly success

A SPOOL OF THKs FAB.
What Cotton Goes Through Before 1t
 Reaches the Needle.

What Cotton Goes Through Before 1t Reaches the Needle.
 From the Washington Star.l
 Few people ever stop to think of the twistings and turnings and the various processes that cotton fiber goes through af-
 ter it is taken from the pod before it is
 wound up on @ spool and ready for the housewife's needle. The whole story is
 told, however, in small space in one of the cases in the hall in the National muse um given up to an exhibition of textile fabrics. This is one of the many object lessons in the museum, which, combined, are intended to tell the story of man as he exists on the earth. First is shown specimen of cotton in the pod just as it is picked, without having the seeds removed. Next is shown . specimen of the same cot ton after it has been ginned and the black seeds have been removed. The Sea Island cotton is used for thread on account of the length of the fiber. A sample of the sack ing in which the cotton is baled is also shown. Then the cotton is supposed to have been balsd and shipped to the thread factory. Here the first thing that is done
 with the cotton is to subject it to the
 "picker'' process, by which the cotton from
 several bales is mixed to secure uniformity.
 During the picker process much waste Ill
 the form of dust, dirt and short fbers is
 separated from the good fbers by the pick
 CT. Next the 'tpicked" cotton is wound on
 A machine in sheets or laps into roll.
 The next process illustrated by a practical
 exhibit is the carding, by which the sheets
 of cotton are eoInbed or run out into long
 naraIlel f1bers The cotton is next seen
 drawn through trumpet-shaped opening, which condenses it into 2 singla strand or stsliver." Then eight such sliyers are run together into one, Six of the strands thus produced are drawn into one, and again six of the strands from the last drawing are combined into one. Then comes the slubbing or fast "roving" process, which consists of winding the strand and bobbin | Two strands are twisted and again wound on a bobbin. After number of other l twistings and windings, during which the strand is gradually reduced in size until it 1 begins to assume a thread-like appearance, | two strands of this fine ''roving" are run | together and twisted, under considerable 1 tension, on bobbin that makes seven l thousand revolutions @ minute. Two Of l the cords thus produced are then wound together on a spool, and then twisted from ! that to another spool. The two cord thread | thus produced is transferred ehence to an- | other spool, and then three threads of two cords each are twisted together, forming 1 six-cord thread. One who has followed the process sees the cotton gradually trans 1 formed from @ wide band or sheet of loose | cotton to a compact thread that will pass | through the eye of a needle. The six-cord I thread is at last taken from bobbin and reeIed into skein, in which form it is l bleached or dyed. Then it is wound back

 self has disclosed only to few engineers
 having the confidence of the Admiralty.
 It is reported that the next international
 exhibition, to be held in Paris in 1889, is,
 like that of 1878, to be adorned with cap
 tive balloon. It is to be of enormous size;
 and, as in 1878, the maximum altitude reached will be about three thousand two hundred and fifty feet. But whereas in M. Glfard's balloon only fifty passengers were taken up at one time the projected aerostat will carry hundred passengers. An engine of six hundred horsepower will be employed to pull the enormous mass back to mother earth. It will be remembered that the bal loon of 1878 was torn to pieces in a high wind owing to the fact that it was not kept full of gas. In the new balloon special precaution is to be taken to preserve the tightness of the envelope, so that the wind can find in it no hollow or wrinkle. A smaller balloon filled with atmospheric air is to be placed inside the large one, and the volume of this smaller balloon can be in creased or diminished by means of an air. pump worked by an electric engine in the car. By this means variations of temper ature, with the consequent alteration of bulk in the gas, can be compensated for.

JACK MORRHssEX,s CAREER.
Five Years Ago Working for Days Wages-To-d Worth Three Million noIIarS

Five Years Ago Working for Days
 Dollars.
 From the Omaha Republican,
 A year ago very few people residing out side of the lines of Colorado had heard of Jon D. Morrissey, who offers to back his horse Montana Regent against "Luoky" Baldwin's Volante for SIG, ,OOe in two-and- a-half-mile race. Five years ago Morrissey was working for S4 day in one of Leadviile mines. To day his check for $3, 900, GOO will
 be honored by any bank in the country, and
 he owns some of the richest mining property in the Centennial State. His career has been
 as remarkable as that of the luck San Fran
 ciscan whose money he is yearning to win.
 Merrissey is an irishman, about 3q years of age. When he arrived in Leadville eight or nine years ago he could neither read nor write. His i1literacy did not trouble him
 much until he began to climb the ladder to wealth and was forced by circumstances to mingle with tEe brains, culture, and capital of the great Carbonate Camp. Then he em- ployed 8 private tutor and studied hard until he was able to sign his name and read the sig natures of others.
 Morrisseys ascension to affluence was very ! rapid. He learned practical mining at Georgetown, Colorado, and was working as ! a practical miner in the Grown Point proper | ty at Leadville when it was closed down and ] offered for sale by disgusted stockholders. | One of these was Joseph Reynolds of Chicago, known to the fame as Diamond Joe' and "The Steamboat King" Morrissey whis- pered something to him, and Reynolds said: ''Go ahead, and you will receive one-third of all the ore you turn out" MorrisEey went I ahead, and after working hard six months
 unrecovered the richest body Of wire silver | bearing ore ever discovered in the State. ! From that moment fortune smiled on him. 1 As. fast as he made money he invested 1t. l The roEn Point is still pouring out wealth l for him, and he receives share of the out I put of the best mines at Aspen, Red Cliff ! Snowbelly Gulch, and other points within 8 hundred miles of Leadville. lie has always been lover and promoter of square sports 1 When working miner he was prominent ir
 the wrestling and boxing matches held al. most daily at Lesdville and as his fortunes | increased he rode his hobby higher About
 three years ago he began to speculate on the 1 turf, and made money hand over fist. Last f fall he purchased the horse Montana Regent I for song. Horsemen who know MorrisseJ | predict decrease in MT. Baldwins capital ii

A WOman's Description of the Earth
 quake on the Riviera.


 From the Spectator.l
 We were in large and badly built hotel at Cannes.
 Half-asleep on the Wednesday evening, I was aroused by blast like rushing wind, but prolonged and increasing, ending in 8 hiss which merged itself into. the sounds of cracking beams and plaster as the room was first shaken, then rolled backward and for ward ten times, and with final shake as if l it were set on it's feet again; the noise was like that familiar to housekeepers as the l 'thumping of the hot water pipes." Having been in slight shock before, l counted the vibrations, but simultaneously with watching the perpendicular lines of the staring, cheap wall paper, and hearing the sounds, my thoughts travelled with the great | est rapidity.
 They say it lasted but fifteen seconds at most. and so, as there is nc reason to doubt l how great the speed with which thought can I multiply itself, was exemplifed to me-'Hot l water-earthquake continuance-the hotel | must come down-fa -fatalism-thoughts of l work left undone-of personal ties to be l broken-perfeet calm-then, if not killed but must be killed if hotel falls-it is stop | ping" Such were the thoughts, branching in all directions, of fatalist by nature, not l by creed.

Profits of Bucket Shops.


 In review of s'bucket shop" business Bradstreet's estimates that there are about one thousand of these institutions in the United States. One hundred and fifty of these are in New York, in which not less than twenty thousand speculators pass their time daily between the hours of 10 a. m. and D. m. The transactions" in bucket shop are simply legalized bets between the parties outside the railing and the owner of the shop. man ''invests" from five to if ty dollars as bet that the next quotation of stock will go up and down according as he ssbuys" or "sel1s." When the stock goes up one per cent on ''long" ticket he doubles his money. If it goes down one per cent. his investment is "wiped out" He may ''sell" if he chooses, that is make or lose on a 'short" ticket. The ingenious contract, which has been 1egalized, is sad to have been the invention of General Butler as counsel in some suit. It is practically noth- ing but bet, since no stocks are actually bought or sold in bucket shop, unless the proprietor himself operates in the Stock Ex- change just as others outside do. The chances of making money in a "bucket shop' seem to be in favor of the outside par ty, since if the quotations are favorable he increases his Ssprofits' by the amount invest ed for every change of one per cent. That is rise or fall of five per cent. on an invest ment of five dollars. when in his favor, gives clear profit of twenty-five dollars. But in practice the 'tbucket shop" wins in the gene ral average.

Cheap Cigars for Good Ones.

Smokers complain" remarked a
Broadway cigar dealer, THAT there
are few places in the city where they
can get even fair cigar for 10 cents
unless they are known as regular Gus
TONERS, OF course there are some un-
scrupulous dealers who won't hesitate
to work off poor stock ON a customer
whom they never expect to see again.
A man with Valise in his hand or
betraying other indications of being
about to leave the city is looked up
on rs capital victim by dishonest
dealers. In many cases the owner
himself is not to blame. He depends
entirely upon his clerk, and doesn't
trouble himself about what swindling
goes on in his store as long as he IS
not the victim. The clerk knows that
the owner can keep pretty accurate
idea of the amount of broken stock in
the case, and that there is little chance
to knock down very much in the days
receipts. The only safe way for him
to steal is to give a 5-cent cigar for
lO-cent one. There is no fear of being
detected, because the average smoker
doesn't know IA good cigar until he
smokes it, and, as rule, the cheaper
the cigar the better it looks. To be
sure, the business suffers in the long
run, for a man win steer clear of
store where he ONCE got bad cigar.

that he picks up SO little transient
